THE NET 2 CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL

The NET 2 Charter High School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the The NET2 High School school district, located in New Orleans, LA with about 154 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, The NET 2 Charter High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The NET 2 Charter High School, located at 6601 Franklin Ave in New Orleans, is a non-traditional, therapeutic-focused high school designed specifically for students who have struggled in or disengaged from traditional educational settings. As part of the "The NET" network of schools, it operates with a core mission of reclaiming students who have dropped out or are at risk of doing so, providing them with a flexible, supportive environment to earn their high school diploma. The school is known for its small class sizes and a personalized approach that emphasizes trauma-informed care and restorative justice practices, aiming to rebuild students' confidence and connection to the learning process.

Beyond academics, The NET 2 prioritizes the "whole student" by integrating robust social-emotional support and real-world preparation into the daily curriculum. The school utilizes a competency-based model, which allows students to progress at their own pace based on mastery of skills rather than traditional seat time. By fostering a close-knit, mentor-heavy community, the school seeks to address the systemic barriers that many New Orleans youth face, ultimately guiding them toward post-secondary success, career readiness, and long-term personal stability.
